Flyposting

Fly posting is putting up unauthorised posters and stickers, usually adverts, in public places. We are responsible for items attached to the highway, such as trees, bridges, lamp posts, road signs and other street furniture. If private property is involved (e.g. phone boxes or empty shops) then we have no jurisdiction.

Road Sweeping

We operate a street cleaning programme. The frequency of cleansing is dependent upon need, for example high usage areas such as town centres are cleaned daily, while residential roads will be swept every 8 weeks.

Graffiti Removal

Graffiti is an illegal, anti-social activity that creates a negative impression of an area and contributes to people's fear of crime. Any graffiti on Council owned property will be removed by the Council. To report an graffiti please use our Street Cleansing Report Form.

We are working towards rationalising and improving our toilet provision.

Spillage on Roads

Spillage on roads is a nuisance and needs to be cleared up. In some cases mud and spillage on the public highway is hazardous and can cause traffic accidents. Where mud and/or spillage has occurred, details should be passed to us or the Highway Authority so that it can be cleared up and if appropriate investigation made as to its cause.

It’s important to give an exact location, the type of material involved (i.e. diesel, petrol, mud) and a rough indication as to the amount (this is not always easy, use simple measures that you’re familiar with. i.e.: "mud from a large lorry over 40 meters", "half a motorbike tank of diesel" etc.).

If you see the person, or vehicle, responsible for the spillage please try to give a description or registration number.

Please note that we do not have a duty to sweep or clear up spillage on private roads or other areas, such as office car parks or garage sites.

If you see a incident of spillage on the highway that could cause a hazard, or you have been involved in a commercial spillage please report it immediately. Please use ouronline form.
